Agnes Blackadder Hall - Campus Accommodation

Stayed there while attending a conference that took place on the St Andrews campus. Apparently this is the largest dorm that St Andrews U has to offer and it's available during the summer months when the University is not in session. The rooms are basic student accommodations but the wifi works; the room I stayed in (on the 4th floor) was clean, including bathroom and shower. There was a hot water thingy and tea and coffee were supplied in decent amounts. No fridge or safe though. Also, the mattress was way too soft, or maybe just worn out. But I managed. Brekkie was included and was actually quite good (with several stations offering a gamut of options). Hall staff (mostly older folks) were consistently friendly. The folks at the reception desk were younger and could use a lesson or two on customer service. Overall, it was not a bad choice and if I would attend another conference, or for that matter if I would decide to take up golf, it'd be a creditable alternative. The hall is about a 15 minutes stroll to North and South Street ("downtown") both of which have plenty of food and drink places.

Welcoming and helpful personnel, lovely room, within walking distance (uphill) of the main part of town, delicious breakfast menu ~ truly enjoyed staying here. When we could not figure out how to use the washing machines and dryers, one of the senior staff made calls to the service provider to make the machines available for our use. We were early and the staff graciously came to store our luggage and offered us coffee till our rooms were ready.

Habitaciones muy sencillas dentro del campus de la universidad. La ducha con muy poca presión y poca temperatura. El desayuno bufé abundante y bueno, sin duda lo mejor de todo, con el aparcamiento gratis y amplio. Bien para pasar una noche y mas comparando los precios con otros establecimientos.
